Conductivity in Pharma API Manufacturing

Accurate measurement of conductivity in pharma API manufacturing plays an important role in many steps, including crystallization control, cleaning and rinsing, and water production. At each of these process steps inaccurate measurements can lead to productivity loss, contamination, or expensive batch failure. So having the right sensor for each step is vital. But how do you chose the correct sensor for each process? The best practice guide “Conductivity Measurement in Pharma – A Short Guide to Sensor Selection” explains the differences in conductivity sensors and leads you through selecting probes.
 

Conductivity in pharma API manufacturing provides visibility into some of your most critical process steps, but each of these steps has its own challenges. These range from physical and chemical constraints of the manufacturing process, to wide, variable ranges of measurement that require unique solutions.

2-electrode conductivity sensors, 4-electrode conductivity sensors and inductive conductivity sensors all offer benefits for different applications of measuring conductivity in pharma API production. This guide provides information on the different ranges and applications for each of these sensor types.
